The following parameters must be considered when selecting Schottky diodes — SUNMATE

The following parameters must be considered when selecting Schottky Diodes:

Schottky diode is named after its inventor, Dr. Schottky. SBD is the abbreviation of Schottky barrier diode (SBD). SBD is not made by using the PN junction principle formed by the contact between p-type semiconductor and n-type semiconductor, but by using the metal semiconductor junction principle formed by the contact between metal and semiconductor. Therefore, SBD is also called metal semiconductor (contact) diode or surface barrier diode. It is a hot carrier diode.
